Evermore Nevermore recently celebrated its first anniversary in downtown Mesa, right between Queen’s Pizzeria and History by George. To mark the occasion, the store printed up a special zombie-infested flier starring their Zombie Extermination Divison (Z.E.D.) that’s full of in-jokes and shout-outs to Valley institutions like the Derby Dames, New Times’ “Best of Phoenix” issue — and Nerdvana!
“For our 1st year anniversary we wanted to do something fun to commemorate the occasion and came up with the idea of trying to do a grindhouse style B-movie poster for our next shop flier,” owner Bob Leeper said. “We had a lot of fun doing it and we’re really excited about the way it came out.”
They’ve compiled a list of all the Easter eggs and a brief explanation of the lore behind each one. They’ve provided me with a copy, so you too can share in the secret fun. But first, check out the poster above and see how many you can find!
